After Inuno Ersan left, Takayama Kamefu sat on the camp bed with some dejection, but his heart was filled with depression. [,ka~.Com text These special cigarettes were originally brought from Kanto by the division commander before the war in order to cooperate with the battle.
It was transferred by the military headquarters. As a result, when the fight started, it was discovered that the opponents were not the poorly equipped Chinese government troops and the so-called guerrillas.
Although their chemical protection equipment is not too complete, they only have one pair of gas masks per person. Faced with these first-class gas masks made in Europe, as well as the gas masks developed specifically for the use of these special smokes in their own country, these are different from those in the West.
Compared with the great powers, the special smoke shells and smoke tubes are second-rate at best and basically have no effect.
Whether it was a head-on offensive and defensive battle, or a tug-of-war in the previous stage, during the battle, the 14th Division often fired these special smoke shells called decisive gas. Unfortunately, they were basically
It did not have any effect. On the contrary, it affected the morale and combat of his own troops.
But now these are hoarded in Zhonghoutun. Instead of having special smoke and artillery shells that play a decisive role like they did in China Pass, they have become a burden to the 14th Division. When they are transported back and forth and added together, even after part of them are used, they are still still there.
The remaining tens of thousands of special smoke shells and smoke tubes are not so easy to deal with.
Not to mention myself, even the division commander is not sure what to do now. It is simply impossible to throw away these things. If all these tens of thousands of special smoke shells are thrown to the opponent, not to mention the division commander,
As a person who carries out orders, the Kwantung Army will not spare him until the Tokyo base camp.
But if we retreat with these tens of thousands of special smoke shells that can hurt people and ourselves, it is impossible not to mention running away or even marching slowly. Now the 14th Division simply does not have enough trucks to transport these shells away.
. Even if all the military horses and animal-drawn vehicles are taken into account, there is no such large transport capacity.
Now Kameo Takayama suddenly felt envious. Just the day before yesterday, during a meeting at the division headquarters, he had made fun of Colonel Naoyuki Akihara, the captain of the 59th Regiment because the entire regiment was crippled in the previous stage of the battle.
Although the 19th Regiment suffered an unreasonable disaster because of the Sixth Division, at least now they don't have to be like me at the front, holding a lot of hot potatoes and sitting on pins and needles.
When he discovered that the former decisive weapon had now turned into a hot potato that could not be shaken off, Colonel Gao Shanguifu felt regretful. He couldn't help scolding himself secretly, why he was so full in the first place.
When you can't support it, you have to use special cigarettes to fight. After discovering that these special cigarettes are ineffective because the opponent's protective equipment is quite complete, why not immediately withdraw them to the territory of Yanshou?
It's just that it's too late to say anything now. The more than 10,000 special smoke shells are not his decisive weapon, but a burden. Apart from these two words, Gao Shanguifu can't think of any words to use to describe this batch of special smoke shells. Stand
Standing up, the turtle man looked at the searchlight outside the window and felt at a loss.
Takayama Turtle on the front line of Zhonghoutun didn't know how to deal with the current situation, and Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi in Founder City also didn't know how to deal with those hot potatoes. The current situation is no longer possible for Kita Seiichi
There was too much time to think about what to do with those poison gas shells.
Now the intensive sound of gunfire outside Fangzheng City is already very close. The opponent can be said to have been hit right under his nose. But for Fangzheng County, although the ammunition is sufficient, the troops are insufficient. Those who defend the county are only
One and a half infantry brigade, plus some troops directly under the division.
In order to counterattack the enemy forces in the south of the city that had reached less than three kilometers from the county seat, Kita Seiichi even sent out the division's guard troops. However, after paying a heavy price, although the opponent's offensive was suppressed, it was not possible.
He failed to expel his opponents from Deshan and greatly consumed his already insufficient troops.
The two squadrons were exhausted, but they only slightly restrained the opponent's attack momentum. It was three kilometers away, and they could be beaten if they said they could fight. Now Kita Seiichi felt like he had a bayonet on his back. He understood that the opponent was waiting for reinforcements.
Once reinforcements arrive they will immediately resume the attack.
When he realized that he did not have enough troops on hand and wanted to withdraw the second unit to the east bank of the Ant River, Kita Seiichi found that he had started so late. The second unit was entangled by the opponent at first and could not withdraw. When the gecko break was adopted,
Using tail tactics, when they finally got rid of the opponent's entanglement, they found that the opponent had taken the lead. Not only did they occupy several crucial bridgeheads on the east bank of the Ant River, but they also blew up several pontoon bridges connecting the two banks.
The Second Regiment in Guxuan Hexi can only face the main force of the division across the river, watching helplessly as the division headquarters is about to be encircled, but it cannot survive. The Ant River, which has gradually begun to enter the flood season, not only has a large amount of water,
Even the width of the river bed is much wider, making it almost impossible to ford it.
The 2nd Regiment could not withdraw, the 15th Regiment was defeated, and the 59th Regiment was isolated to the south. They tried their best but could not get through. Kita Seiichi couldn't run away now and wanted to fight on hand.
However, his troops were seriously insufficient. The tall mountain turtle man in front of him sent a telegram requesting instructions every half an hour on average, which made him even more upset.
Seeing another telegram from Takayama Turtle requesting instructions from the adjutant, Kita Makoto didn't even bother to read it, and threw it directly into the trash can. Facing the adjutant's surprised expression, Kita Makoto, who had always been indifferent to emotion and anger, saw that it was a rare sight
He said angrily: "What should I do if I know? Why should I be helpless? Tell them to shoot out all the special smoke shells and immediately break out towards the county seat."
When the adjutant heard his order, he was a little at a loss and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters is to transport this batch of special smoke shells back at all costs. Now the China Expeditionary Army is in urgent need of these shells.
To deal with the harassment by the Chinese government troops and local armed forces. If you shoot out all these artillery shells, how will you explain it to the Kwantung Army?"
"Also, there are only four mountain cannons in the Gaoshan Turtle Commander, but there are more than 10,000 rounds of special smoke shells. Even if the artillerymen are tired and vomiting blood, they still have no ability to shoot out all these more than 10,000 shells in a short time.
.And half of these artillery shells are 75mm field artillery shells, and many are 120mm and 150mm grenades, as well as 105mm cannon shells. They don't have the weapons to fire these shells.
artillery."
Kita Seiichi, who was looking at the map, said without looking back: "Transport it back? Transport it back in this case? Then you tell me how to transport it back now? Use human resistance or transport it with vehicles? More than 10,000 rounds of special smoke shells
, even if all the trucks in the division are put together, they still can’t be transported. Not to mention that there are no trucks, but given the current situation that the road leading to Yanshou has been cut off, how can we transport it?”
"If there are no usable artillery pieces, then bury these artillery shells or throw them into wells. Tell them how to dispose of these artillery shells as quickly as possible, and that's it. Also, you tell him,
It is up to him to decide the war at the front line of Zhonghoutun, so don't ask him to send me a telegram requesting instructions."
"In addition, you can send a telegram to the Kwantung Army headquarters to ask when the reinforcements will arrive. Founder is only more than a hundred kilometers from Harbin, so it's time to crawl over such a small distance. He, Namada Juichi, is a loser.
All divisions have been invested in it, but not only have they lost all their money, but the Kwantung Army has not been able to send even a single reinforcement, which is simply a shame for the emperor."
"He is still using the Fourteenth Division as bait. He is really an idiot. How many divisions does the Kwantung Army have in his hands now? How many troops are there? Even the border garrison is about to be transferred by him.
This guy who is naked can actually come up with any so-called follow-up battle plan. I think General Umezu Yoshijiro has lost his mind and is so crazy that he would trust a guy who has ruined all the Kwantung Army's wealth."
"Tell General Yoshijiro Umezu that if I don't see the aviation force again after dawn, don't tell me that I will evacuate Harbin regardless of its safety. I can't bring all the 14th Division in to be buried with Lieutenant General Shigeichi Namada.
Tell the captain of the Second Regiment, Colonel Oniwu Goto, that no matter how much he pays, he must forcefully cross the Ant River in the shortest possible time and return to the aid of Fangzheng County."
After the adjutant went out to send the report, Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi looked at the map and despised Lieutenant General Namada Juichi in his heart. At the same time, he also secretly regretted it. If he could learn from Toshichi Kamimura, he would be in the 11th Division
After losing contact, he immediately retreated when the situation was bad, and he would not be so passive. I was really stupid to believe that idiot Namada Juichi who even wanted to get involved with the army chief of staff.
What was even more stupid was that not only did I believe what he said, but when I asked for instructions to retreat two days ago, the Kwantung Army Headquarters said that the square was the most important barrier northeast of Harbin and must not be missed. Even if the Fourteenth Division fought to the last moment,
Every soldier must be defended. The Kwantung Army headquarters will consider the changing situation and try its best to reinforce the 14th Division. I believe it.
That guy Toshichi Uemura ran away without even saying hello, so it was no big deal. Instead, he was trapped in a dilemma by defending Fangzheng. And two full days have passed, and he is now divided into pieces. The Kwantung Army Headquarters
Not only did the promised reinforcements fail to arrive, but even the promised air support was not seen.
After mentally cursing his stupidity for a long time, facing the embarrassing battle situation in front of him and the fact that his opponent's bold and even desperate assault had cut his defense line and troops into pieces, Kita Seiichi still frowned.
He didn't know where he should start in order to reverse the situation of the war. After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind. If the reinforcements didn't arrive after dawn, he would learn from Lieutenant General Toshichi Uemura and leave.
